Engage Communication's Central Office T1 Over IP Solution
Deployed by Cellular Service Providers and Nationwide
MSO
APTOS,
Calif., March 23, 2004 - Engage Communication's
IPTubeQT1
provides service providers, enterprises, and government
agencies with a very cost effective, Central Office solution
for interconnecting T1 based Telecommunication equipment
from one to four remote sites over LANS, WANS, MANs, Satellite,
and Wireless Ethernet.
Cellular
Service providers have deployed the IPTubeQ1-C for interconnecting
Cellular Base Stations to Base Station Controllers over
an IP interconnect. An international Service provider
is saving over $5,000 per month per link. The IPTubeQT1C
model, with integrated lossless compression of 56 to 1,
minimizes the committed information rate required from
their IP WAN service provider.
A
major nationwide MSO is interconnecting Telecommunication
switches across their HFC network with IPTubeQT1s.
The MSO is positioned to compete with incumbent carriers
for a major piece of the lucrative T1 leased line service
with a solution that works at the T1 frame level which
provides for transparent interoperability with legacy
PBXs.
"The
success of the IPTubeQT1
product is the direct result of high quality customer
feedback." said Mark Doyle President. "The platform
utilized by the IPTubeQT1, which encompasses 15 years
of networking and telecommunication expertise, positions
Engage as a Central Office solution provider."
The IPTubeoQT1 is available with one to four T1 interfaces
and a 10/100 BaseT Full/Half Duplex Ethernet Interface.
The T1 interfaces have configurations that provide for
independent protocol, compression, packet sizing, buffering,
clocking, framing, coding and channel settings. The protocols
supported are IPTube, CESoIP, and HDLCoIP.
Engage
also manufactures the IPTubeQE1,
an E1 version. In transparent mode the E1 is able to interoperate
with the T1 tubes.
